1 Samuel 16
1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill your horn with oil, and go, I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
A Gospod reèe Samuilu: dokle æeš ti plakati za Saulom kad ga ja odbacih da ne caruje više nad Izrailjem? Napuni rog svoj ulja, i hodi da te pošljem k Jeseju Vitlejemcu, jer izmeðu njegovijeh sinova izabrah sebi cara.
2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with you, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.
A Samuilo reèe: kako da idem? jer æe èuti Saul, pa æe me ubiti. A Gospod odgovori: uzmi sa sobom junicu iz goveda, pa reci: doðoh da prinesem žrtvu Gospodu.
3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do: and you shall anoint unto me him whom I name unto you.
I pozovi Jeseja na žrtvu, a ja æu ti pokazati šta æeš èiniti, i pomaži mi onoga koga ti kažem.
4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Come you peaceably?
I uèini Samuilo kako mu kaza Gospod, i doðe u Vitlejem; a starješine gradske uplašivši se istrèaše preda nj, i rekoše mu: jesi li došao dobro?
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
A on reèe: dobro; došao sam da prinesem žrtvu Gospodu; osveštajte se i hodite sa mnom na žrtvu. Pa osvešta i Jeseja i sinove njegove i pozva ih na žrtvu.
6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him.
I kad doðoše vidjevši Elijava reèe: jamaèno je pred Gospodom pomazanik njegov.
7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.
Ali Gospod reèe Samuilu: ne gledaj na lice njegovo ni na visinu rasta njegova, jer sam ga odbacio; jer ne gledam na što èovjek gleda: èovjek gleda što je na oèima, a Gospod gleda na srce.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this.
I dozva Jesej Avinadava, i reèe mu da ide pred Samuila. A on reèe: ni toga nije izabrao Gospod.
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this.
Potom Jesej reèe Sami da ide. A on reèe: ni toga nije izabrao Gospod.
10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD has not chosen these.
Tako reèe Jesej te proðoše sedam sinova njegovijeh pred Samuila; a Samuilo reèe Jeseju: nije Gospod izabrao tijeh.
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all your children? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he comes here.
Potom reèe Samuilo Jeseju: jesu li ti to svi sinovi? A on reèe: ostao je još najmlaði; eno ga, pase ovce. Tada reèe Samuilo Jeseju: pošlji, te ga dovedi, jer neæemo sjedati za sto dokle on ne doðe.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was rosy, and likewise of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
I posla, te ga dovede. A bijaše smeð, lijepijeh oèiju i lijepa stasa. I Gospod reèe: ustani, pomaži ga, jer je to.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Tada Samuilo uze rog s uljem, i pomaza ga usred braæe njegove; i siðe duh Gospodnji na Davida i osta na njemu od toga dana. Potom usta Samuilo i otide u Ramu.
14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
A duh Gospodnji otide od Saula, i uznemiravaše ga zao duh od Gospoda.
15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
I rekoše Saulu sluge njegove: gle, sada te uznemiruje zli duh Božiji.
16 Let our lord now command your servants, which are before you, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well.
Neka gospodar naš zapovjedi slugama svojim koje stoje pred tobom, da potraže èovjeka koji zna udarati u gusle, pa kad te napadne zli duh Božji, neka udara rukom svojom, i odlakšaæe ti.
17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
I reèe Saul slugama svojim: potražite èovjeka koji zna dobro udarati u gusle, i dovedite mi ga.
18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
A jedan izmeðu sluga njegovijeh odgovori i reèe: evo, ja znam sina Jeseja Vitlejemca, koji umije dobro udarati u gusle, i hrabar je junak i ubojnik, i pametan je i lijep, i Gospod je s njim.
19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David your son, which is with the sheep.
I Saul posla ljude k Jeseju i poruèi: pošlji mi Davida sina svojega koji je kod ovaca.
20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
A Jesej uze magarca i hljeba i mješinu vina i jedno jare, i posla Saulu po Davidu sinu svojemu.
21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour bearer.
I David doðe k Saulu i izide preda nj, i omilje Saulu veoma, te ga postavi da mu nosi oružje.
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray you, stand before me; for he has found favour in my sight.
Potom posla Saul k Jeseju i poruèi: neka David ostane kod mene, jer je našao milost preda mnom.
23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
I kad bi duh Božji napao Saula, David uzevši gusle udarao bi rukom svojom, te bi Saul odahnuo i bilo bi mu bolje, jer bi zli duh otišao od njega.
